Freight charges vary depending the vendor. We work with our producers to get you the best freight possible.  Some producers have freight included pricing or freight caps.  We also offer periodic freight specials throughout the year.

Some vendors must use insulated packaging, ice packs and expedited freight to have heat sensitive items ship during the warmer months. Costs will vary by vendor. Please check with your rep for details.

A Haversack is a bag carried over one shoulder to transport supplies, as on a hike; adapted from both the French (havresac) and German (habersach) languages. “havre” or “haber” means “oats” “sac” or “sach” is sack. 

We fill ours with delicious confections, specialty oils, spices and  artisan goods.  What’s in your haversack?
